Hillary Calls Cheney "Darth Vader"

Politico:

"Vice President Cheney came up to see the Republicans yesterday. You can always tell when the Republicans are getting restless, because the Vice President's motorcade pulls into the Capitol, and Darth Vader emerges," Hillary Clinton said just now at a $100-a-head fundraiser at Town Hall near New York's Times Square, referring to Cheney's efforts shore up Republican congressional support for the Iraq war.

"I'm not invited to their meetings and I don't know what he says or does," she said, in an informal conversation on stage with former Iowa Governor Tom Vilsack and retired General Wesley Clark. "But all the brave talk about bringing our troops home, and setting deadlines, and getting out by a certain date just dissipated."

Dumb. Everyone knows Cheney is the Emperor, manipulating events behind the scenes, and W is Darth Vader, the dumb thug who fronts like he's the guy in charge.

She's right, but with one exception. Darth Vader looked good. Luckily, he had a mask so we couldn't see his face. Cheney, on the other hand, always looks like a bulldog who just got a whiff of his own bulldog crap.

Emporer Palpitation.

This is so f*cking predictable. Can't she even come up with an imaginative slogan or name for Cheney. I think Cheney is evil, too, but Hillary is just pandering for votes, throwing some scraps of "red meat" to the Democratic faithful, trying to rile them up for her campaign. She should have said "Satan". If she had said that, I would have considered voting for her.

I actually thought he was emperor Palpatine

Hiller's staff has been reading HuffPo, again? lol

[SeaOats]

Ha! That was my first thought.

Personally, I think Darth pulls up to the Capitol with a brief case full of blackmail material. Dickie loves his wiretap toys.

[Truss]

That's being nice. Dr. Death GREED and CORRUPTION is closer to the real thing.

OK,... slightly immature of Hillary,..­..

But if the dark helmet and breathing thingy fit,...

Favorite bumper sticker:

CHENEY/SATAN '08

Notice Cheney gets top billing.

Time to wake up. Greenspan called Mr. Clinton
a good Republican President. Times were good during his reign, he was lucky. Does he get all the credit - think not! And Hillary asking
Gen. Petraeus fluff questions just does not cut it. She bashes Bush but has yet to show any action. Will she be different than what we have now, not by much. She is AIPAC, gets her money from big corporations and the middle class stays screwed. But I know, I have to say
"I told you so." So more of the same!

[speakingtruth2power]

Isn't it funny, listening to 'informed' Republicans bash the Clintons
with all their best shots, when in fact they are actaully, close allies?

[rwe]

Yikes st2p....Se­ems the Hillary bashing is coming from the rebels not the force. And why again not does the audacious one receive any incoming ?

[TJS]

As a young man, Darth Vader actually saw combat. Hillary owes Mr. Vader an apology!

[olivia]

That is a lot nicer than any of the things I call him.

[DumbDad]

Let's face it, we're all afraid of Cheney because he has the balls to intimidate just about everybody in DC. Who's his equal? Jon Stewart? Gore Vidal? Al Gore? Wesley Clark? What you need to deal with a personna like the one he's cultivated is something on the order of Clint Eastwood, and we rational liberal humanitarians are fresh out of the type on our side.

I think we should send Angelina in to see him. It wouldn't be fair, but hell we need to control this sucker. Her guts, his cohones, her charms. He surrenders.

[OfficialA]

There's Russ Feingold. And Dennis Kucinich. They don't LOOK like Eastwood, but they seem more thsa willing to have their foes make their days.

[EinChicago]

The keebler elf squad is hardly intimidating, though.

[PAFirefighter]

I'd surrender to Angelina Jolie - the instant she entered the room!

Who wouldn't?

"She is trying to deflect her 'Abramoff' moment. If the press would actually pick up on it the whole Hsu mess makes Abramoff look like a rank amature [sic]."

Keep dreaming.

And at the same time, when is Bush going to return the 1.4 million given to him by Enron? And what was Ken Lay's role in Cheney's Energy Task Force? Now THERE'S a scandal.

[martinspringfield]

But... Joe Liarman is Senator Palpatine. So how can Cheney be Darth Vader? I'm so confused.
